This is really good! I like it, please continue. I'm intruiged by Trudi, what happened there? Did she sleep with someone else? Did she die? I mean, rose did use the term 'grieving'.
Whatever will Ron say when he finds out? I like to think that Ron and Hermione would be disaproving, but she would get some support from one of her uncles, like say Charlie. We didn't see enough of Charlie in the books.
Very nicely written, please keep going!

So sorry it's taken so long to review the next chapter, my apologies...

As I mentioned before, I really like what you've done with this. The sibling rivalries, the twist, and the characterizations. "Her fake tears never worked on their mother." - Loved that, especially since it's Mother Hermione we're talking about here! And the boots, well, that was just fantastic.

I really like how you handled her possible 'gayness' as not being a flaw, especially because it's not. The fact that she used to tease her little brother about it, well, it all brings it full circle. Hugo here seems a bit self-obsessed at the end, though the explanation of how he used to idolize his sister gave him more depth. And that he covered for her, was something I did not expect. The dimension of his character there was great.

Another great chapter!

Author's Response: Aww, Leent, what a wonderful review! I was grinning from ear to ear while reading this, and then I re-read it. Thanks, how nice of you. :)

Hello! I really liked this chapter - chocked full of lovely sibling rivalry. I don't think I have read a fic yet that centers upon that so well, especially between Hugo and Rose. You have captured that so very well, and the way you've written it makes us feel rather sympathetic towards Hugo. Your descriptions of those feelings, I think, is what catapults this chapter into an interesting and valid characterization.

And, despite Rose's perfections, it was very interesting to see her flaw of constantly seeking attention even at her younger brother's expense. I will be reading on soon, but so far I think you have written a wonderful beginning chapter.

Oh wow, another intense chapter. Your writing is very well done, and it flows nicely. I like the interaction between Rose and Hugo. Sibling rivalry can be intense and I think you portray it well. Good work, and good luck with your writing! I think you've got a lot of potential. There's not much for me to point out, you're doing everything well, but everyone always has room for improvement. :) So keep up the good work and great job here.

Author's Response: Hi again! I'll definitely work on my writing. It's hard writing only once in a while since work and real life are first priority. :( Thanks for the honest feedback, dear. :)

Good writing! I feel so bad for Hugo, being overshadowed by Rose. She doesn't seem like so great a sister to have. :( You've got great descriptions, and a really good chapter length here. It flows well, and reads well. Great first chapter and great ending!

I'd like to start with how much of a great story this is! It's exponentially well written, your vocabulary is extensive throughout the fic and your punctuation is varied. I must commend you for that, as these two things make a story SO much better.

Your characterisation of Rose and Hugo were, in my opinion, very good - I've always imagined Hugo to be a little in Rose's shadow. Your characterisations also made the sibling rivalry even more intense - Hugo was so jealous, you could almost feel it!

I also enjoyed your first few introductory paragraphs. I felt it really set the mood of the fic, whilst also setting up the rest of the story well.

I can't really think of anything bad to say about this - it was a lovely read. Well done!

I'm so sorry this took me so long to get around to. Life has been miserably busy, but I'm here now!

Wow. Really wow. This was so unique! I've never read a story like this. I'm in shock, because I wouldn't have ever thought up a great story like this. I've never even considered Rose's possibility in this, yet you made it seem so real. Like this was how JK actually wanted it.

You write well. You do, but there were a few grammatical mistakes. I would suggest reading over your chapter. Nothing was major, but it just makes for a much nicer read when mistakes are out of the way.

Wonderful job. I thought it was quite ironic with Hugo and Rose. A nice little twist to the plot. I agree with Liam. Wait until they find out about Rose. ;)

This was so great.

Author's Response: Hi there! Don't worry about taking long to review. That happens to me too. :)
About the grammatical errors, I'll see what I can do. I'm trying to catch them all. Thanks for the feedback. :)

So Hugo is taking his revenge on Rose for ruining his birthday, right? That's interesting. I can actually imagine that happening. A revenge fuelled teenager taking vengeance on his older sister because she ruined his day. Nice one there.

As I said before, the characterisation is great. I didn't spot many spelling and grammar, and that's always good, of course.

This story is really coming along well. Sorry for the short review, but I don't have much to say except for: this is really good, you obviously know where you're going with it, keep it up.

Yeah, that's what I have to say xD
10/10

Author's Response: Hi again! Well, not only for ruining his birthday. Rose mentioned something before Hugo got mad - she mentioned his past, and suggested to get over it. :)
I'm glad you like this chapter too despite the grammar. LOL I'll try to fix them all. It'll take time, but I'll fix them. :) Thanks LiamR! :)

Well, woah! I mean, honestly. That was really good. A couple of spelling and grammar mistakes, but nothing really serious.

I have to say, I've seen Hermione femmeslash, Ginny femmeslash, Lily femmeslash, even Luna femmeslash, but never Rose. So you get extra brownie points for being so original! It's one of those things you never really consider, and it's brilliant.

Rose is such a cow! Hugo must hate her for that. And I really feel sorry for Hugo aswell. His birthday has been ruined and everyone thinks he's gay.

Wait until they find out about Rose ^_^

Very nice chapter :D

Author's Response: LOL You've never read a Rose-slash story before? Me neither, and this was my first story about her in Hugo's POV. :) Hope you'll read chapter 3 too. Thanks for leaving a review. :)

Oh would he do that?
I know he´s hurting but would he realy?
Great story loving it
THIS IS DEFENITLY A NEW TAKE ON THINGS

Author's Response: Well, do you think Hugo would? :)
His sister opened up an old wound, and now he's all confronted with his past again. He got mad. Hope you'll enjoy the next chapter too. :) Thanks for dropping by.
